HUGO ENSINGER, OF PATERSON, NEW JERSEY.

wrnnow.

To all whom it mag concern Be it known that I, HUGO ENSINGER, a citizenof the United States, residing at Paterson, in the county of Passaic andState of New Jersey, have invented new and useful Improvements inWindows, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relatesto window structures and it consists in the novelfeatures hereinafter described and claimed.

An object of the invention is to providea window adapted to be operatedto obtain a maximum amount of air through the win-' dow opening forventilating a room or building and also to facilitate the operation ofcleaning the window pane.

With the above object in view the window structure includes a frameadapted to be positioned in a 'wall and having a sash frame hingedlymounted therein. Sashes are movably mounted in the sash frames andweights are slidably mounted in the sash frame and connected with thesashes. The sash frame is open at its top side thereby facilitating theinsertion of the sashes in the sash frame or the removal of the sashestherefrom. In the accompanying drawing? Figure 1 is a side elevation ofthe window structure. Fig. 2 is a sectional view' of the same cut on theline 22 of Fig. 1. i The window structure includes'a frame 1 adaptedtobe positioned in the wall of a building or room in any suitablemanner. The sash frame 2 is hingedly 'mounted in the frame 1 and isprovided at one side with a hasp 3 adapted to engage over a keeper 4mounted at the side of theframe 1." A bar 5 is pivotally mountedupon thehasp 3 and is adapted to engage inthe keeper 4 as best shown in Fig. 1of the drawing, whereby the frame 2 is securely'held in a closed,osition with relation to the frame 1. The rame is further provided atits side with a handle 6 wh1ch may be used to swing the frame 2 when thehasp 3 and the bar 5 are disengaged from the keeper 4. The frame 2ineludes vertical side columns .7 which are Patented May 23, 12918..

, hollow. The said columns 7 are mounted at their lower ends upon theintermediate cross bar of the frame 2 and the upper ends of the columns7 are spaced from each other.

Window sashes 8 are slidably mounted in the frame 2 between the columns7 and pul leys 9 are j ournaled at the upper ends of the columns 7.Weights 10 are slidably mounted in the columns 7 and are connected withthe sashes 8 by means of cables or cords 11.

Fromthe above description taken in conjunction with the accompanyingdrawing it will be seen that the frame 2 maybe swung from a closedposition to an open'position in the frame 1, thus providing a maximumopening through the frame 1 for the facilitation of ventilation.Furthermore, when the frame 2 is swung in an inward direction withrelation to the frame 1, bothsides of the panes of glass carried by thesashes 8 may be reached and consequently the Mndow. may be cleaned withsafety and despatch. In view of the fact that the upper ends of thecolumns 7 are disconnected from each other the sashes 8 may be readilyinserted in the frame 2 or removed therefrom when the said frame isswung to an open "side columns disconnected and s aced from each otherat one end and a s1ll member connecting the columns together at themotherends, the hollows in the columns opening at-the disconnected endsthereof, sashes slidably mounted in the frame, pulleys ]011I- naled atthe disconnected ends of the columns, weights slidably mounted in thecolumns and cords connecting the weights wlth the sashes and trainedover the pulleys.

In testimony whereof I affix my slgnature in presence of two witnesses.
